Candidate Meet and Greet this Friday: Jason Dozier


2021 is an election year for Atlanta, and there are several candidates running for office. Many voters ignore municipal elections - but your local elected officials are the most accessible and have the most impact on your day-to-day life. 

NPU-S wants to make sure that you can make an informed choice. We've extended an invitation to all candidates to hold virtual meet-and-greet sessions, courtesy of the NPU! These sessions are an opportunity for you to get to know the candidates and ask them questions about matters that concern you.  

We encourage every eligible citizen to register and vote in November!  

This week's Meet + Greets:

We have recordings of past meet and greets at our Municipal Elections Page, along with a list of candidates.
